FarmHER Kate Hitchcock joined us on the Market Day Report to discuss the upcoming episode of the show where Kirbe and the crew visit her family’s produce operation in California’s Salinas Valley, which premieres tomorrow, Sept. 24 at 9 PM ET only on RFD-TV.

FarmHER Kate Hitchcock specializes in growing Sweet Baby Broccoli in California’s Salinas Valley, known as “The Salad Bowl of the World.”
